Google sells your data for $$. It is their main income stream. Apple doesn't. They don't want your data and don't enter markets in fact because they don't want to monetize you or your data.
- eh78ssxv2f 10y agoNot to nit-pick but this is completely wrong. Google does not sell the data. They use the data to show relevant ads. The advertisers have no access to the user data.
